Scene lock controls
Prevent half-baked sequences and incomplete storyboards from entering the prepro packet while writers still polish earlier acts or the producer negotiates location access for later scenes.
Prepro should not mean five apps and a shared drive full of mismatched versions scattered across Dropbox, Google Drive, and local folders. 熙熙 connects screenplay, storyboards, and coverage plans in a unified workspace so department heads—cinematography, art direction, production design—work from the same scene numbers and revision states before AI-assisted workflows or physical production starts.
Script in one tool, boards in another, shot list in a spreadsheet, look references in a chat thread. Every meeting starts with version control instead of creative decisions.
Indie crews cannot afford dedicated coordinators who spend hours reconciling exports and chasing down the latest draft. When the director rewrites scene 12 or splits it into 12A and 12B, storyboards and breakdowns that ignore the change become expensive lies on set, wasting talent time and location budgets.
AI previsualization promised speed but delivered random clips and disjointed sequences because nothing upstream—no prepro tool—defined coverage angles, cast blocking, or scene geography with scene-level discipline and version control.
熙熙 unifies development artifacts under scene IDs. Generate boards from the script, build shot lists from those boards, and run AI previz passes that inherit the same metadata.
Department notes attach directly to scenes and storyboard frames inside 熙熙. When the screenplay shifts—a scene is cut, a location changes, dialogue is rewritten—you see immediately which preproduction assets need refresh instead of discovering conflicts and continuity breaks on the shoot day.
Mark sequences ready for prepro. Unlocked scenes stay editable without polluting boards or shot lists meant for production review.
Produce storyboard strips and shot rows for locked scenes. Attach look references and lens notes where the director wants specificity.
Share a read-only packet with DP, production designer, and producers. Comments land on scene numbers everyone recognizes.
Export a preproduction bible or push approved frames into AI video tests that respect cast continuity and coverage intent.
Jae needs a credible prepro packet for investors: script, boards for set pieces, and a shot list for the two-day finale location. 熙熙 keeps every asset on shared scene numbers. When Jae trims a dialogue scene, only the linked board and two shot rows flag for update. The pitch deck stays honest about what the film will look like.
Prevent half-baked sequences and incomplete storyboards from entering the prepro packet while writers still polish earlier acts or the producer negotiates location access for later scenes.
Bundle script excerpts, board strips, and coverage summaries into PDFs that read professional without a graphics team—no need for external design resources to assemble polished deliverables that combine script pages, storyboard panels, and coverage notes into a single coherent document.
DP, art, and producing notes live on the same scene timeline instead of scattered email threads—cinematography feedback, art department annotations, and producer comments stay anchored to the exact scene or beat they reference, eliminating the confusion of digging through forwarded messages and reply chains.
Test mood and movement on approved boards so AI clips reflect planned coverage, not random prompts.
Without structure
With 熙熙
It focuses on script-linked visual development: boards, shot lists, and AI previz. Scheduling, payroll, and call sheets typically live in dedicated production tools that can import your exported breakdowns.
Yes. Role-based sharing lets directors, DPs, and producers comment on scenes and panels without duplicating files.
As soon as you have scene structure. Many teams board key sequences during outline stage and expand coverage as drafts mature.
You choose script pages, board strips, shot list summaries, and look references. Exports are curated, not a dump of every work-in-progress frame.
It reduces guesswork for lighting, blocking, and tone. Physical tests still matter for performance and lens choice, but previz clips align with your coverage plan.
Changed scenes trigger review flags on linked boards, shot rows, and previz slots. You accept updates deliberately instead of silently overwriting approved work.
AI generation is not the hard part anymore. Keeping the film coherent is. Start in 熙熙 and build the chain before you burn credits.
